Why should I give to the HERO Campaign?

Education is the key to a child’s future, but for orphans and vulnerable children schools play a far greater role than academic learning. Schools become a place to not only get an education, but a place where children can receive a meal, drink clean water, receive counseling and learn life building skills that will ultimately serve their own community.
